What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo assess the effect of video-based educational program on staff nurses' awareness and practices regarding risk factors and prevention of exposure keratopathy (EK) among mechanically ventilated and unconscious patients.
methodsThis study employed a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest interventional design involving a sample of 109 intensive care unit (ICU) nurses currently employed in private hospitals.
resultsUnivariate analyses revealed a significant relationship between participants' age, gender, and years of experience with their practice at the post-test. Additionally, there was a significant improvement in participants' awareness after the intervention for the total mean score and all items (p < 0.001), except for question 8: "Are patients with incomplete lid closure referred to an ophthalmologist?" (p = 0.063). Regarding ICU nurses' practices in eye care, there was a significant improvement in all items after the intervention (p < 0.001).
conclusionThe findings of this study revealed that the educational intervention significantly improved ICU nurses' awareness and practices regarding the risk factors and prevention of EK among mechanically ventilated and unconscious patients. Moreover, these findings emphasize the effectiveness of educational interventions in improving nurses' awareness and their ability to effectively implement preventive measures. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
